    Quebec City Mayor Regis Labeaume, on his last day in the office, urges the government not to build the planned tunnel under the St. Lawrence River connecting Quebec City and Levis, Que. The so-called "third link: would cost an estimated $7 billion and take 10 years to complete. A pet project of Premier François Legault.

    According to CTV News, the outgoing mayor argues that the tunnel would not reduce the traffic and instead other solutions like adding new lanes to existing two bridges in Quebec City, like they did in Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.
